The Wednesday, July 31, 2024, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features a presentation by University of Arizona professor emeritus and climate-caused human extinction scientist Guy McPherson. We also share news, music, and reflections on a Kalispel and indigenous canoe journey in the Idaho and Washington, Pend Oreille watershed, a rail yard-adjacent, wildland fire and environmental impacts of doubled tracks and rail bridges near Sandpoint, Idaho, a protest, petition delivery, and ongoing resistance to the GTN Xpress methane pipeline expansion around Bend, Oregon, and a November 2024, Washington ballot measure seeking to prevent “natural” gas phase-out. Broadcast for twelve years on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow, every Wednesday between 1:30 and 3 pm Pacific time, on-air at 90.3 FM and online, the show describes continent-wide, grassroots, frontline resistance to fossil fuels projects, the root causes of climate change, thanks to generous, anonymous listeners who adopted program host Helen Yost as their KRFP DJ.
